Recently had an issue with my vacuum valve not working so have replaced it. Sadly, it's still not holding a green light so seems the problem was greater than that single issue.

I can't see anything obvious so was hoping for some guidance on trouble shooting it to see if i can find the issue and fix it myself. Any ideas?

Unfortunately you most likely have a leak somewhere. Could be any of the buttons ect with an o-ring.

You could try to use leak detection smoke to pinpoint where it is, but if its really small, it might be useless.

Your local dealer can service and change everything im sure.

How quickly does it lose vacuum? if it's quite slow it will be an o-ring leaking most likely. If it's really quick, it's potentially either the valve was not installed properly - check it o-ring is in position or the new valve is faulty or perhaps you've pinched an o-ring. Is it the push button style vacuum valve?

@Chris Ross it's pretty quick. Less than a couple minutes. yes it's the push button valve.

I'll remove it and try again.

Check the o-ring is clean and seating properly, lubing it wouldn't hurt either. A couple of minutes seems faster than what I would expect for just a bit of grit or hair on an o-ring.

If that doesn't help, pack the housing with tissue paper, add a weight and submerge it empty (no camera) for a couple of minutes to see where water gets in based on where the tissue gets wet.
